Drug addiction

Drug addiction is a severe problem in modern society, affecting millions of people worldwide. It is a chronic disorder that negatively impacts the health, wellbeing, and functionality of individuals involved and can lead to devastating consequences. Steps Together’s approach combines multiple modalities to provide a holistic approach to addiction recovery.

Drug addiction is characterised by compulsive drug seeking and use, despite the negative consequences it may have on an individual’s health, social life, and financial stability. It is a complex disorder that is influenced by a variety of biological, psychological, and environmental factors.

Biological factors involve changes in the brain that lead to drug addiction. The brain is composed of cells called neurons that communicate with one another and control behaviour. When drugs are taken, they can alter the way the neurons communicate, resulting in changes in behaviour. The changes in behaviour can lead to addiction.

Psychological factors play an important role in drug addiction. Individuals may turn to drugs to cope with stress, anxiety, or depression. Drugs can provide a temporary relief from these feelings, but over time, the individual may become dependent on the drug to cope with their emotions.

Environmental factors can also contribute to drug addiction. An individual’s family and friends, as well as their environment, may influence their decision to use drugs. A person with a family history of drug abuse may be more likely to use drugs than someone without such a history. Furthermore, people who live in an area where drugs are readily available may be more likely to use them.
